abstract = {Dietary energy density (DED) has recently been identified as an effective
nutritional strategy for reducing the risk of obesity. We aimed to
investigate the association between body composition parameters as well
as body weight and BMI, and DED in a large population of 585 young
adults (68.5 % females) aged 18-25. Body weight, fat mass (FM),
percentage of fat mass (PFM), fat-free mass (FFM), and visceral fat (VF)
were measured using a body composition analyser. Daily energy intake
was assessed using a 72-hour diet recall, and DED was calculated. Linear
regression analysis showed significant associations between DED and
body weight, PFM, and VF after being adjusted for sex. DED might be
considered as an important aspect in the obesity nutritional education
programs in young people. Nurses should develop nutritional counselling
programs based on the identification of high and low-energy-density
meals in young adults.},
